Hi, I have several pdf files with links to view on our website. I want to track views of these files. I created the Documents View report using these file names, but I don’t believe it is tracking the views directly from our website. Does the Documents View report only track views of existing contacts in HubSpot (ie: that were emailed the doc via link or attachment?)
